Actually, it doesn’t confirm that they are taken from the DOH. The DOH should have received all 3 certificates on Friday, Aug 11th, and the Nordyke and Obama announcements should both have been in all the Hawaii newspapers that week, if the DOH printed out a master list for the week.

I can’t give any details yet, but look for a story soon on those announcements. Interesting stuff.

I guess I don't understand where you are coming from since Okubo confirmed in the reply just posted that the file numbers were not given out until the cert applications reached O’ahu and then the date is stamped on the cert. Okubo stated that the date showing on the colb is the date stamped by the state office, not that of the county and that makes logical sense.

As one who has to deal with dates regarding several stops that paperwork makes in its journey to the final destination(my desk), the date placed on all final paperwork that is used for all reference pertaining to that document is the date it was completed, not started.

This leaves one with a common sense & logical conclusion that the announcements would have also been 3 days apart.

But if you truly get absolute/concrete confirmation aka prima facie evidence that the terms ‘filed’ & ‘accepted’ are indeed not used interchangeable and do mean something different than what Okubo has stated, my hats off to you.
